Open Arms Men's Shelter

Open Arms provides a full range of shelter and rehabilitative services for up to 38 single, homeless men 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Emergency Center assists an average of 30 clients each night throughout the year. Open Arms was established in 1989.

Open Arms serves homeless, single adult males in need of temporary housing. 85% of its clients are referred through the Department of Social services (DSS).
